A new page has been added to the WW II War Stories section with the history of the Doolittle Raid, 18 April 1942:
Lt. Col. Doolittle launched B-25B bombers from an aircraft carrier to bomb Tokyo and Nagoya. This near-impossible feat was the first U.S. attack on an enemy power in WW II, coming at a time when all the other news was bad. The American public, still reeling from the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941, cheered the news.
In addition to the text and photos, be sure to watch some of the video, including original War Department footage and the trailer from the movie “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.”
